All In A Weeks Work

I must say, you ladies are good for my ego! Thanks for all your sweet comments about the prego pictures! I know I disappeared, and here is what I've been up to:

7 half pints of strawberry jam; 6 half pints of Bluebarb jam (blueberry/rhubarb); 5 half pints of lemony blueberry nectarine freezer jam. (Rebecca over at Renaissance made this once, and the picture looked so good, I had to try it!)

7 quarts of chicken; 6 quarts of bean and ham soup ( which looks like pond sludge); 2 pints and 3 half pints of strawberry peach preserves,; 6 half pints of blueberry-cherry preserves.
Lots of work and it kept me busy most of the day, especially with one SUPER cranky little boy.
No canning this week, but lots of catch-up cleaning, and the 20 week ultra-sound tomorrow- yippee!
I also want to squeeze in lots of sewing, I have too many projects that need done!
That's it for now, lunch time is approaching and it looks like scrambled eggs, because I haven't got around to making bread yet. Have a good Monday!

Nice work - you have been busy! Have a great ultrasound tomorrow! I can't wait for my follow up one on Friday.

So much achieved -- I love how you take such pleasure in your homemaking. Because these things are important, but so many women have been brainwashed into thinking they're not.
